• How to play .asx files in Windows Media Player

  original title; Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  Can I play a video file of .asx with WMP? or if not, how to play with this extension .asx files?

  When I try to play the file, WMP shows error then update says "video codec".

  How then can I get this update for the video codec?

  Thank you, Michael Phelps 907

  Hi Mike,.

  an .asx file is not a media file. It is a file that contains a pointer to a content online. So if you are unable to read a .asx file and are able to play other files using Windows Media Player so the best thing is to open the .asx, a Notepad file. When you open the .asx using Notepad, you will see a link that starts by http: and so on. Please copy this link and go to Windows Media Player. On the Windows Media Player window, press the Alt key on the keyboard and click file and Open url. Paste the link and check if Windows Media Player is able to open the link. If she opens the link this is a problem with the formatting of the .asx file and if it does not open the link then it is a problem with the server online of the .asx file. It could be that it is deleted from the server.

  Hope this information helps. Keep us informed on the status of the issue.

• When you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the photo in Windows Media Player.

  * Original title: Windows Media PLayer

  I have Windows Media Player version 12 installed but when you try to play .mp4 files in WMP, I hear the sound but the picture is distorted and I can't see the picture.  Please see image attached.

  Even if I see that I can change the version of the file in a different format, I have the same problem with videos on websites that I can not of course change the format before playing these.

  I managed to fix the problem for about 20 minutes by flattening my computer re - install the operating system and this resolved until all updates have been through, and then it disappeared again.  I tried many codecs packs and this still does not help.

  My system is running Windows 7 and Media Player version is 12.0.7601.18840, which tells me that Media Player is the most recent version.

  Please can someone help?

  

  Open uninstall a program in windows and in the left click on the feature to turn on or off windows. Clear the check box of the window Media Player, and then click ok. This will uninstall the drive, and then restart.

  After restarting the same steps, now, check the box for the same and perform a restart and if all goes well it should solve the problem.

  Note: Make sure that Windows is up-to-date.

  When you click on the "Browse" button to select

  If you open the "Files of Type" menu window
  and choose "All files" you can select your .mp4

  Under "Content Distribution"... "Archive file".
  can be a good choice.

• How to identify obsolete files in Windows XP?

  My directory of Windows (XP) rose to more than 10 GB, which for me is more than 30% of my C: drive.  I need to create because I only have 1 GB of free space on C:.  Despite the defrag NTFS seems to perform badly under 20% of free space.  (Yes, my documents and program files take up a lot of space, but not nearly as much as the Windows.)

  I suspect that most of the files in my Windows directory are really outdated, but I can find no documentation MS how to identify obsolete files of Windows.  Unfortunately, KB MS searches return only the details of the specific software issues and warnings no do not delete the contents of the directories like Installer & $hf_mig$ who collectively represent 40% of the space of files in the Windows folder.

  Can someone point me to MS doc on the identification of obsolete files in Windows?

  Can someone point me to a reliable freeware that can analyze my Windows folder & identify obsolete files?

  Thanks, J

  Thank you once again.

  I moved my Documents to my another internal drive, but it was UGLY.  Fortunately, I made a backup before you start.  The Windows Move function fails if a file is locked by a process.  Supposedly gives the user the possibility of closing the lock program, he abandoned the movement rather than a new attempt.  Thus, the move is only partially complete.  The restore function moves the files back, but not all the original files are retrieved.  (Move offers no option to copy all files successfully before deleting the originals).  With backup & some file/folder comparison software, I was able to recover all the lost files (probably).

  In any case, the above is not your fault.  I just thought you should know about the potential problems of moving.  I commented to MS on moving article.  I hope that similar questions are not present in Windows 7.

  I still have 26G standing on C, all Documents & settings Windows and Program Files.  But now I have 7 free G.  Move my Documents was a good idea, just as subjects with MS Move function.

  Thank you once again.  I will mark it as answered.  John

  When you try to import a .mp4 file in windows movie maker, the program does not list the file when I search for it in his file.  Help, please.

  As I suggested previously, conversion to a format like

  Look for the file/s that you want to convert.

  window and choose... All files)

  Click (highlight) left the files and the left on the Open button.

  You can see the files in the "Multimedia content" pane

  Open the drop directory window and choose an output folder.

  be a slow process. It is always best if you do not have
  multi-task while files are encoded.

  Now... try import you again. File WMV in Movie Maker.
